The House Collective

it’s still cold.

It’s still cold here. This is the longest cold season we’ve had since we moved. It’s been chilly since before Christmas and still went down below 50 degrees Fahrenheit last night.

This morning I went to the clinic wearing two layers on the bottom & three layers on top. My hair was up so I could avoid an icy shower, and I was enjoying the car’s greenhouse effect, making it the only warm-able place.

Where am I?!

We gave out coffee and Ovaltine this morning while the community warmed up by the fire. I was making some tea for myself and just thought we might as well share, since we can! As I went in and out of the house heating up water and such, I would return to three-year-old Zen Yaw wearing my shoes. I teased him the first few times for taking my shoes. Then I wondered if his shoe-less, sock-less feet might just be really cold, and maybe he just wanted to be off of the tile & concrete.

“Do you want my shoes, buddy?”
“Yes. Want.”

So off he went in shoes a few sizes too large, and then promptly spilled his hot sticky Ovaltine all over them a few minutes later!
